My New Song Maya Darchan (The Gift)

[Top Cat]

UPDATE: After getting positive feedback and suggestions on my original mix, I've remixed it, and believe it to be more balanced.
Thank you all for listening and commenting.

Here is a new song I just finished.

If you get bored with the vocals, the second half starting at 2:15 is all instrumental. If that doesn't work, may I recommend a yoga mat and a bottle of wine. lol
Thank you for listening and please stay safe out there.
My apologies for the typo in the thread title.

(Intro)

Every time I see
Every time I feel
heard it on the outside
nothing else is real
it's all we know
it's all a show
and I can't get back
it's starting to crack
how did you know
it's all been one big show
hold me now

how did I ever learn to feel this way?

and every time I thought
I'd know what to do
and all of the reasons we care
and it's all I know
and it's more than I would be
hold me now
and all will go

touching my heart
and shine the light
do
would ever want to do

darshan
til you know

all of the things
all of the time
all of the love

That's lovely Richard! Nice pastoral vibes for a quiet Saturday morning

Thanks for sharing

[Top Cat]

as always, thank you John for listening and for your comments.
After some feedback regarding the mix, I may be revisiting this to fix some of the levels of the instruments which are overtaking the vocals.
Pastoral...love that.

Hi Kim, thanks for checking out my song and for the smiley and thumbs up.

Really nice song! The multi-layered arrangement reminds of the Relayer/GftO era of Yes!
(IMHO maybe, just maybe, a tad softer guitar sound though..)

Wow, thanks. I appreciate your kind words and Yes inspiration reference(I love those two albums).
Also, I agree, the guitar was too loud in the mix, I loved it so much, but too much of a good thing like one too many scoops of ice cream.
I lowered the level on it and adjusted several other instruments including vocals for what I hope to the listener is a more balanced experience.
So thank you for you humble opinion, which I appreciate greatly!! It's when people throw soda bottles at me I get a little miffed! lol

Anyway, here is the new mix, hope you like it.

Soda bottles, uh huh
